Latest Comics

Well, it’s only taken a little over a year… okay, okay, nearly a year and a half. But here it is. One new page! I’m hopeful I’ll be able to maintain a slightly quicker pace now that things are finally settling down at my day job. Big apologies to everyone for stopping the story just when things were really starting to develop. Additional apologies for going back to the computer generated font…. truth be told, a minor part of the delay is just not having the time to even do the Ames Guide lines for the hand-drawn font. My plan in the near future, however, is to take my own font and digitize it so that it at least looks a little more natural. For now, I think we’re all willing to tolerate a little inconsistency in lettering if it means moving the story onward and upward!

I’ll have more updates (comics and unrelated coming soon as well). A lot has happened this past year! If you’re the kind that likes his or her news as fresh as possible, feel free to follow my “Swoops” on Twitter (@duttonart).

Great to you back, Mike! Don’t apologize for using a digital font, man. First, it’s a nice font. Second, only insane people still hand letter if they still have a day job! Think of how much time and strain you’re saving. Hand lettering is great, but the page isn’t suffering from it. Looking forward to more!

I am so excited you are back! Thank you for taking the time again to create and share this with us. I’m going back and reread the whole thing (again) just for the sheer pleasure of it…well that and to make sure I really know what is going on.

While I understand that you do not exist to serve us, I feel that as your fans, we should be given some kind of heads-up here… How often can we expect for you to post, reasonably? I love Swoop and the gang, but this is becoming disappointing.

Hi Tasia, I will post a more formal update and answer to this, but the short end of it is my wife and I just had our first child and we have been spending a good deal of our time in the hospital since he is a month premature. I intend to work on the comic again, and realize that there is a contract between fan and author – which is mutually frustrating for me not to be able to honor, but for the time being, my priorities are elsewhere. Sorry for disappointing.

I saw you on google doodle video, and remembered One Swoop Fell. Man, I know how priorities got to change what we are doing. Indeed, I know how many around will not understand this. So, hoping you get your time to do this, without leaving what is more important for you. Take care.
